Boston Drawing Project is a collection of artworks on paper housed in Boston at Carroll and Sons gallery. Although many of the artists with work in the Project are based in the Boston area, living in the region is not a requirement for participation. Each participating artist has a portfolio in a drawer that contains six to twelve artworks along with a copy of the artist’s resume and a consignment form. The Project is a great resource for artists, curators and collectors. http://carrollandsons.net/boston-drawing-project/about.php and http://carrollandsons.net/boston-drawing-project/submissions.php
